Description

SPACEPLAN is an experimental piece of interaction based partly on a total misunderstanding of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. Use manual clicks and the passage of time to create and launch potato-based devices and probes from your nondescript satellite orbiting a mysterious planet. Unlock the mysteries of the galaxy or just kill some time in what the astrophysics community is calling the ‘best narrative sci-fi clicker game of all times’.

FEATURES

* Fifteen starchy items to unlock, create, and blast into the vacuum of space.

* Life affirming, silly story that will both captivate and help you kill time.

* Reveal the secrets of five different planets across two different realities.

* Banging soundtrack, as is customary in a narrative sci-fi clicker game.

People have said they have gotten this black screen bug, but luckily I haven't found it. It seems very short but it still is probably the best clicker game I've ever seen. The visuals are amazing and it's a very funny. Totally worth trying out. If you like longer games maybe try something different but personally I love it. I would love there to maybe be updates so there would have chaper 1, 2, ect. but so far it is something I enjoy playing.

I don't ever leave a review but after completing this game, I just had to let it be known just how wonderful it is. I was sceptical at first given the clicker genre and having to pay for it. I bought it on sale and have to say you should totally buy it for the experience(well worth the full price). This is a unique experience and a true gem that again shows that games are an art! Play it and you will love it! 😍

I'm not certain what or why I'm doing anything in this potato themed space exploration game? But, I like it. Something oddly compelling to keep progressing. On sale, no ads or IAP - worth a try. Do solar panels use your phones photo sensor to give a watt boost? Would be a nice bonus angle for the game.

The game is fun and kills time. I love the concept of it too. The further you progress the more the lore unfolds. However my only issue is with the bugs. I earlier closed the app after buying a few upgrades which took me 3 hours roughly to get. After going back into the app the following day. My data did not save, wasting 3 hours of effort.

This game has redefined what 5 stars means. Absolutely incredible audio and visuals. The ending scene is quite possibly the most moving piece I've ever experienced in a storyline without characters. Wonderful job to the creators! Magnificent! I'm running out of adjectives! It's perfect. I bought the game after reading the quirky headline about Dr. Hawking's book. Everything about this game was good

I played the web version first and I loved the mobile game! Even if there are several strange bugs, for example that the touch areas are sometimes a centimeter above the actual buttons or I had a blackscreen of death (which can be fixed by removing the app data.. setting apps data remove app data and cache) I Loved It ! Thanks guys for this awesome little game. The humor totally hit my spot and the music.. OMG the end.. and the fact that you can tilt the phone to play with the formations.. I know for some this game is not enough, I say: best spent 3 bucks for a mobile game since a very long time. I would love an update or a second part!

A bit of an oddity, this one. Travel through space, performing spud-themed actions, turning back time and slicing up planets. A blend of idle clicker and linear storytelling, the accelerating numbers soon take on a strangely mesmerising appeal. Sadly, it's over all too quickly in just a couple of days. Replayability value is low, so buy while on discount for maximum value for money.

I usually don't write reviews for games I play, but this game was great. The story was perfect for a clicker. The only reason I rate it 4/5 and not 5/5 is I feel like it is a little short for a payed game. I brought the game and the day after buying it(I got it in the morning) I had completed the game, and I wasn't on this game constantly I was on probably a total of 3 hours between both days. Overall this was an awesome game, it had a great story, no bugs that I could pick up, awesome concept, I just wish the game was a tad bit longer.

I don't think I would have paid $3 if I knew the game was so short. Yes it looks great, but it's too easy to beat and there's really no point to it anymore after the game ends. It's not interesting enough to play a second time around..

I purchased Spaceplan without even checking the explanation and screenshots just because it was published by Devolver. After launching I was like "why the hell Devolver would SELL a damn clicker" and I was about to refund it. But the even thought it was a clicker game, I noticed that there's a pretty clever narrative. I kinda sold to that and kelt clicking. And yeah, there was a reason behind the price. Seriously just buy it. It's like 2 and a half quids. Cheaper than a coffee. Oh by the way, the music kicked ass. Graphics too. Yep graphics. Don't want to spoil anything, just keep clicking ;)

No regrets paying for this perfect little gem that I look forward to playing every day...And the music!!!...I sometimes just sit and listen to the catchy techno beat. Don't forget to get the new ideas so you can upgrade your things!

It's a great games, if you didn't have to wait it takes like 2 hours to beat it. Maybe add more things to do in it, or add a endless sandbox mode. Other then that it's a fun game. Wait for a 99 cent sell

I normally don't take the time to write reviews on the games that I download but this one is different. To start it's a simple clicker game. Many of the mechanics have been done before in some form or another in other games but this isn't bad. Instead Spaceplan does something interesting; it weaves a story. I never really found myself looking forward to getting upgrades just to make more money. I found that I was excited to see what twist the game had for me when I made it over a challenge. So others might complain about the lack of features or simple mechanics but they missed the entire point of the game... the story. I can say that I beat this game in 4 days and once you beat it the first time the second play through isn't as exciting but I would still pay $3 for any game this brilliantly designed. I'm glad to know that even mobile game devs can still make thoughtful projects that combine story and mechanics in meaningful ways. Also the music is really good. Buy the game peoples.

It's a great little game for $3. Don't let the idea that it's a clicker turn your off, the compelling story and unique visuals made this a fun play from start to finish (yes, this is a clicker game with a real ending). The game was a little short, but when I did beat it I didn't feel like anything was missing and I don't think it should have gone on any longer than it did.

One of few genuinely good "clicker" games. Has a campy but compelling short story and decent special effects. I do wish there was more to experience - you can beat it in a day - and the autosave is borked at times.

I really enjoy playing this game after purchasing it last night. However this morning I opened it and it was fine, but when I closed it again and opened it, I got a cutscene of potatoes shouting "potato". Once this finishes it cuts to a loading screen and won't move. Please fix this

Ok so this game is beyond amazing. However I've came across a game breaking bug after 2 full days of endless playing getting to part 2 of the story. I left it to get some power and when I went to come back the screen is completely black even when forcing stop and restarting my phone.

I was enjoying this unique take on the idle clicker...until I approached the end of the game, and now it won't launch--black screen. Tried clearing cache, restarting phone. Nothing works. A pity, because it's the only game of its type with a story. But if you can't finish the story, what's the point? This game turned out to be quite a disappointment.

I'm actually really enjoying this so far. I've run into an issue where the screen just goes black and I can't start the game at all. If the game we're playable I would happily give it 4 or 5 stars, bit as it is I can't even start the game.

Such a let down. Paid 3$ for a simple clicker. Very little variety in upgrades, entirely linear, not much depth and worst part, demolished it in a day. So very much not worth paying for the content. Woulda watched ads. Not a bad game, just wish there was more of it to enjoy. Oh yea ppl, black screen of death appears to be calculations for away time. Wait long enough and it'll come up.

Enjoyed the game itself, but really annoyed that I got a black screen and had to reinstall the game after playing it on and off all day. If the bug reappears will drop it to 1 star. Edit: the story is really enjoyable and takes a quirky turn. For a clicker game this is remarkably well done. However, after reaching the second stage of the game the black screen bug appeared again. Despite how much I enjoyed the game play, the inability to progress ruins it.

This game is excellent. If you don't waste your life on it, it lasts a nice amount of time. Some things about it can be annoying (small click section, anti swipe) but it is amazing. Sure, it may not be balanced, but there is no way to describe this game. Get it. Now.

Great minimalist design, yet so much fun, with a quirky little narrative. Soundtrack is amazing too! People are saying it's too short, but I think they've forgotten it's meant to be an 'idle, incremental game' where you come back to it every so often and see what wonderful surprises are in store for you. It's not designed to be played all at once, I'm still playing it and it's been three days, not sick of it at all! Worth every penny for the enjoyment I'm getting out of it.

Disappointed in how short it was. I'm glad I got it on sale because it's definitely not worth $3. It's an idle game that you can beat in a day if you stay on top of it. It's definitely amusing, but there's better free games out there.

The game is way too short for 2 hours of content. It would be a lot better with at least a dozen more items and more upgrades. Also, the upgrades are meaningless when the end game items end up producing 95% of your energy. So upgrades should power older/weaker items to at least remaining relevant.

advertises itself as a clicker, but after only a couple days of logging in, it ends. spent more time waiting for the stupid story to give me control back than I did clicking. it started out fine, but I 100% regret buying this. and would recommend it to no one.

This game describes itself as an experimentive piece of interaction and that's exactly what it is! Great story, great puzzles and well planned and executed staged system for progression. Graphics are awesome and the ending is incredibly entertaining. The only thing I would change is to have the ability to stop the screens moving side to side when your tapping away on the potato mash button. I loved to lay in bed tapping away whilst watching the planets move. Took about 3 days to complete.

I love this game, I bought it on steam and in my phone. It was playing just fine in my phone but now every time I try to launch it it just pulls up a black screen... I tried to uninstall and reinstall but that still didn't fix the problem. I really hope I can find a solution...

Would have been perfect but I got almost to the end, I was so excited... Then the app would never open... Then I lost all progress... Ugh, I love it so much for what it is but that is a glaring and painful bug to have my earth looked like a porcupine... Now it's red and lonely

Fun little space adventure on a text-based UI. Nothing super special, but there's also not a lot like it. Clearly takes inspiration from famous science fiction, but doesn't take itself too seriously either.

Apparently broken for my device, the date never updates after the AI discovers the year, the system peeker only shows the sun throughout the entire game, and I can never approach the black hole once it is created - the game just eventually resets itself. Not exactly what I wanted for $3.

Good but buggy. It can't cope with more than 999 potato wedges and locks up with a black screen when you try and launch. Good game though - I'm on my third run through seeing how fast I can complete it.

A good clicker, but ultimately not stable enough to be worth paying for. If this were a free app with ads I'd be rating it 5 stars but as I've paid money for it I have higher expectations, the black screen of death bug, to which the only fix is to hard reset all of your progress is a fairly damning bug. The humour and art style are pleasing however, I just don't think it quite has the polish to be worth paying for.

I loved this game in its entirety. Silly humor. Cute story. And the fact that it didn't go on forever like a lot of clicker games was great. I have a busy life and don't often get the satisfaction of beating a game. This game was so wonderful! I even watched the ending twice.
